In what wound up being a dramatic four-man chase to the finish, Justin Rose won the 2013 U.S. Open by shooting an even-par 70 Sunday to finish plus-one overall, with an aggregate score of 281 over Merion Golf Club’s grueling 72-hole test.

It was the 32-year-old’s maiden major triumph, as he beat 54-hole leader Phil Mickelson and Jason Day by two strokes.
